Description:
The "Clone Formatting" tool has an option known as "Clone Formatting Multi-Selection".
As far as I know this option can only be accessed by double clicking on the "Clone Formatting" tools icon in toolbar.

Actual Results:
As far as I know this action is not available with a shortcut key.

Expected Results:
SUGGESTION 1
If possible could make hitting the hotkey twice to activate this multi-selection action.
So hitting hotkey once = Clone Formatting
Hitting hotkey once activates Clone Formatting, and then while the command is active, hitting the hotkey a second time would activate Multi-Selection.
So second hotkey press would mimic double-click on Clone Formatting icon in toolbar.

SUGGESTION 2
If the above is not possible / not agreed with, then the next suggestion I have would be to just add a new hotkey for this multi-selection action.

Thank You


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No

Additional Info:
If this does get added, currently the main version of this tool is named 
"Clone" in `Customize - Keyboard (tab)`
I would change its name to keep consistent with name used in toolbar which is
"Clone Formatting"
Then this requested tool can be called
"Clone Formatting Multi-Selection"

I made a separate suggestion post about this that can be found here
